Discussing the case after trial
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this trial is finished. Thank you for your service. The American system of justice relies on your time and your sound judgment, and you have been generous with both. You serve justice by your fair and impartial decision. I hope you found the experience rewarding.
You may now talk about this case with anyone you like. You might be contacted by the press or by the lawyers. You do not have to talk with them - or with anyone else, but you may. The choice is yours. I turn now to the lawyers to instruct them to honor your wishes if you say you do not want to talk about the case.
If you do talk about the case, please respect the privacy of the other jurors. The confidences they may have shared with you during deliberations are not yours to share with others.
Again, thank you for your service.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
